Internationalizing the Undergraduate Economics Curriculum

The internationalization of the economics curriculum has been limited by the absence of a modern amroach in specific courses, especially at the introductory and intermediate levels. This paper argues that in order to fully internationalize the undergraduate economics curriculum, microeconomics courses should be approached from a perspective based on the economics of organization and management and game theory. A conceptual framework for internationalizing the curriculum based on this approach is presented. This framework is employed to introduce opportunities to internationalize each course and discuss the role of each course in internationalizing the whole curriculum.     

Strategies for Internationalizing the Business Curriculum in the Asia Pacific

SUMMARY

With the rapid economic growth of the East Asian countries, there has been an increasing interest in the education and skill development strategies used in the region. One of the critical features of Singapore's human resource development strategy is the emphasis on regionalization and internationalization of the academic curriculum. The trend of this internationalization may be attributable to three major factors: Singapore government's regionalization policy, distance learning programs offered by foreign universities, and the overseas assignment of Singaporean managers as expatriates. This paper presents an overview of the internationalization of the business curriculum at the graduate and undergraduate level in Singapore, particularly at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU). The Nanyang Business School, although a young institution, is rapidly moving towards the internationalization process in various areas. At present its student body is drawn from more than 20 countries. About a third of its business faculty come from about 19 countries. At the undergraduate level, students are encouraged to study foreign languages, and required to take the international business course irrespective of their functional specialization. In addition, most functional areas of specialization offer at least one international course as an elective choice. Some of the students also complete their required professional attachment abroad. At the graduate level, the unique feature of it's MBA program is the compulsory International Business Study Mission. The newly introduced MBA specialization in International Business adds another dimension. The school is now focusing on extensive research efforts in the area of regional-ization and globalization of business through its several research centers. The paper also identifies a few concerns such as the rapid changes in the pedagogy due to the overall systemic changes in the curriculum from the traditional British education model and the availability of suitable case studies.

Determinants of Traditional Sustainability Reporting Versus Integrated Reporting. An Institutionalist Approach

The aim of this study is to analyze similarities and differences between companies with traditional sustainability reporting (TSR) and those that publish integrated reports. Based on institutional theory we identify potential determinants of integrated reporting (IR) and test their relevance empirically in a sample of 309 companies. Our analysis shows that IR companies are different from TSR companies with regard to several country‐level determinants. In particular, investor and employment protection laws, the intensity of market coordination and ownership concentration, the level of economic, environmental and social development, the degree of national corporate responsibility and the value system of the country of origin proved to be relevant. Based on these results, both implications for practice and future studies are derived. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment.     

人才管理的新进路分析——KM模式之介入与融合

20世纪90年代末的"人才争夺战"使得人才管理首次进入到了学界的视野,且人才管理原则应用到特殊的知识密集型环境。随着传统研究进路的不足,KM模式的介入为人才管理提供了新的理论滋养,如"技术守门人"、中枢连接者、跨越边界者以及知识中介者等理论为知识密集环境的人才管理注入了崭新的理论源流。KM模式与TM模式的融汇为人才管理提供新的研究进路,特别关注于知识型人才,知识创造,知识分享与定位,发展知识能力以及知识的保留层次上,指明了知识型人才在知识流动网的角色,推动知识密集型机构充分利用资源,优化创新能力。

An Alternative Approach to Poverty Analysis

A model of the household in which production and consumption activities are not separable is developed in order to provide micro-economic foundations for an alternative to the standard approach to poverty analysis. The alternative suggests that socio-economic groups and their respective livelihoods should be the basic building blocks for analysing poverty within a general equilibrium framework.
